The accompanying descriptive text in the volume begins as follows:
'Meadowbank House, the residence of Allan Alexander Maconochie Welwood, L.L.D., is situated about 10 miles due west of Edinburgh. Though large it has no pretensions to architectural ornament or design, having been built originally about the end of the seventeenth century, and was added to in 1795 by the first Lord Meadowbank, the great planter and improver of the district. Further alterations and additions have since been made by the late Lord Meadowbank and his son, the present proprietor.'

The full text may be viewed from the volume which is held at the Edinburgh and Scottish Collection in Edinburgh Central Library.
